Paddy Crick, Progressive Party, had won the seat at the 1904 election, however he was expelled from the Parliament in 1906.
[86] Creswell then defeated Clark to be selected as the Liberal Reform candidate in 1904,[87] before comfortably beating him at the election.
[85] John Norton (Independent) had won the seat at the 1904 election, however he challenged William Holman to face a by-election and was soundly defeated at the Surry Hills by-election in July 1906, finishing fourth behind Albert Bruntnell (Liberal Reform).
At the 1907 general election Bruntnell chose to contest Alexandria but the seat was retained for Liberal Reform by Sir James Graham.
